    Complain if pg_hba.conf contains "hostssl" but SSL is disabled. · c464a065

    Most commenters agreed that this is more friendly than silently failing
    to match the line during actual connection attempts.  Also, this will
    prevent corner cases that might arise when trying to handle such a line
    when the SSL code isn't turned on.  An example is that specifying
    clientcert=1 in such a line would formerly result in a completely
    misleading complaint that root.crt wasn't present, as seen in a recent
    report from Marc-Andre Laverdiere.  While we could have instead fixed
    that specific behavior, it seems likely that we'd have a continuing stream
    of such bizarre behaviors if we keep on allowing hostssl lines when SSL is
    disabled.
    
    Back-patch to 8.4, where clientcert was introduced.  Earlier versions don't
    have this specific issue, and the code is enough different to make this
    patch not applicable without more work than it seems worth.
